Plagued ruined by ignorance Blinded to the threat Comes the winds of change From which we will not recover Infested with rats They came in droves With the intentions To overthrow Rotten to the core The cancer crept in Now its under the skin Fighting war from within They came to conquer To rape To pillage They'll burn it to the ground Destruction cannot be envisioned People made a poor decision To leave them unhindered Countless thousands have been murdered The rivers of blood continue to flow The numbers in their armies continues to grow What government you bestowed That will not defend your home As we chase them in their droves Wearing blackened robes Inverted crosses burning We will massacre them Back beyond the border Until the threat is gone And we've restored order If you run from this fight You'll gain no glory Only sleepless nights There is no room for cowards As hour after hour Our culture is devoured The restoration of order Will start with the sound of murder

The stonemason Carves the stone The druid points to Capricornus The symbols of our time Etched into eternity A relic of our history Left to become a mystery As a new dawn comes The past is gone Repurposed and recycled Until it's meaning is none Born from the decay Of collapsing stars Capricornus reigns Above the Winter's sky The Druid Ignites the Clavie The flames we ignite Illuminate the darkened night A tradition Older than any book Passed through the generations Refusing to be lost A part of our history Never written never taught Thousands of years Preserved without text A right of passage Of which secrets are not shared Keepers of Ancient Knowledge Told only amongst ourselves Yet when we rot The atoms that bound us Break and transcend Across the galaxy As we enter taciturnity The atoms that makes us They do not break They are the seeds From which tomorrow Is crafted and born The broken arrow and the crescent Remind us that we came From the skies we live And return when we die The double disc represents The Torch Bearers of your flame As above so below Born of stone to kill the bull We came from the stars We live we die we decay The cycle repeats as we transcend into Eviternity The beast we leave on our stones Is the sea-goat Ea, Enki, Pan Marking the darkest day Longest night before the dawn

The more I witness The more I see Countless thousands Arrive from overseas History repeats But no one's willing to speak Our culture begins to vanish Taken from under our feet Comes among the horde A preacher Who professes to be A spiritual leader The desecration of temples Slowly starts to begin The toppling of monuments No longer seen as a sin Be careful of the ones Who you let in The true intentions Are often kept within What we once held sacred Has been converted You should have been weary Of unwarranted benevolence The evolution of culture is inevitable It has been a constant For all of time Yet the reality is It's who defines your culture That will end up defining Tomorrow's future The desecration of Freedom of thought I resent All of which has been brought From someone who's Allegiance is to Imaginary beings Who's words were never spoken But written by man What is the point of being aware If you refuse to think for yourself You have chosen to stay in a cell Whilst possessing the keys to your own liberation

From the other side Of the Universe Atoms travel Ions gaining mass We were forged Deep inside the cosmic womb From the collapse of ancient stars Created from their tomb Stellar mass ejection Is what has given us A chance at creation As above, so below Anthropogenic cancer Came down from the stars But with death Comes the rebirth We forget the Universe Exists beyond this planet Our fate is dictated Outwith our control The death of this planet As it returns to atoms Entropy that will occur We can barely fathom Turned to dust Blasted through space and time Our death will become The seeds that fertilise the cosmos The end of the human race Is inevitable It's just a matter of when Will it take place All we do is Accelerate the process So sure of our survival Waiting for the great annihilation Bring forth the majesty of destruction And the melody of slaughter Let the skies implode Bring an end to this pestilence Waves like walls Crashing into every city Deluge removes the plague Form of cosmic chemotherapy The universe is indifferent To the plight of humans In an instant It will end us all Bring forth the comet That creates the waves to end it Bring forth the deluge To test the survival of the fittest

Flesh of the Gods Your body is the Colour of blood You are covered With stars To consume your flesh Is to leave your soul A trip so extreme Many mere mortals Have been crushed By it's awe-some power An organism That lives underground That can sustain life For Millennia It's fruit It brings above the soil For it can pass truth To whoever is willing To consume It's body And experience A temporary death Drifting among the universe Seeing with eyes That cannot comprehend Witness your body Being torn to pieces Witness your ego Become severed from your conscience Fractal patterns emerge Through the silhouette of a tree You can see The universe surrounded by a Spectrum of moving colour You are lifted From this Universe And dropped into A higher dimension A world of nothingness Orbs of light who bare no names Yet who held all the answers Orbs of light Talk to me For I am willing to Listen They bring forth A transparent reflection Of my soul Yet I do not Like what I see But yet they guide me To see what is hidden inside You do not return the same Your mind has been unlocked For you are the serpent For you ate the fruit Which others would not dare

The invaders Come ashore Bringing false prophets Those sons of whores Demanding our surrender These pretenders Trying to usurp our throne Unaware of how hostile This land can be Don't you learn No matter what you blame You are always defeated Your King is always slain Don't you see The Picts cannot be ruled Untamed Highland Beasts Ready to be unleashed Fear the Serpent For we come from The stars above Under the guide Of Capricornus Our culture Will never be erased It appears you've joined us As we walk into Darkness A world devoid of light You've chosen poorly For even in peace We're ready for war Land of The Warrior's Cult From Sumeria To Pictavia Final holder's Of a dying flame Without fear We embrace death Battle unhindered For warriors return to the skies Embrace it's glory Or fear it's call Tough times Breed tough people And we are no exception There is a reason Why even After 1000 years You can still hear Tales of our conquests Legends of our existence Pictish Pride Stems World Wide Brothers of Mithras Sons of Pictavia Rise Rise Awaken from your aeonic slumber

The Kingdom's crown Lays unclaimed Under a bridge You'll find the King's remains War is over Invasion has begun Druids leads insurgents As the poets scatter Children run in fear Mother's in despair Ground covered with cadavers Death is in the air No shelter to find As you watch the villages burn Screams of slaughter Echo through the mountains Comes an eclipse That blocks out the sun Reigning for night and day Until the King's body is found The Black King Is the proof That even upon his throne The Picts cannot be ruled Feral highland savages A proud people Who were once their own Kings Will not bow down To foreign claimants Send your armies We pick death over servitude You will see It can be taken but never held The Kingdom's crown Lays unclaimed Under a bridge You'll find the King's remains

about

The Pictish Beast - still believed to just be an image of imagination - has been found on 40% of the Pictish standing stones that remain. To you, it is an image of imagination; to us it is the reminder from where we came. For it is a representation of the Sea-Goat - it is Capricornus; Ea, Enki, Pan.

Our culture, our traditions, our knowledge was never written. It has been passed down the generations through tales, legends, and folklore; but the knowledge is not unknown - it is told only amongst ourselves.

From the Warrior's Cult; Born of Stone to Kill the Bull. Son of Fire, and us the Torchbearers of His Flame. Embrace His Glory, and transcend into a World of Nothingness from which everything began.
